🌊Chuuya🌊

"What are we even doing, Dazai?"

"Going swimming, obviously."

"Why not in the ocean?"

"Too lazy to fight the waves."

"Typical, shitty Dazai."

"That's me!"

I walked behind him, my towel slung over my shoulder. He looked back at me with an annoying grin as he lead me to an inside area. We headed towards one of the chairs to set our things down.

"You should take your hat off now."

"I guess..." I reluctantly lifted the hat from my head and placed it on the chair with the rest of our stuff.

"You gonna take that shirt off?"

"It's a swim shirt, fuck off."

"Whatever you say~"

I huffed, sliding my shoes off and setting them beside his on the ground. "It's hot as hell in here, let's go in."

He pat the top of my head as he started to walk, ignoring my angry hiss. Stepping down the stairs, I followed him as he waded in. The water was warm from being heated inside and the concrete bottom scraped my feet as I started to walk down the incline. Halfway through I could feel myself struggling to stay on my feet, only able to walk on the tips of my toes.

Dazai noticed my struggle, and turned back to cast me a smirk. My cheeks warmed up as he said, "Oh, Chuuyaa, having trouble reaching the bottom, are we?"

"Shut up."

"Your insults are getting less and less creative."

"Fine, then shut the hell up, dickhead."

He smiled, turning back and slowly drawling his words out. "That's my Chuuya!"

I used what I had left of my toes reaching the bottom to push off, grabbing onto Dazai's shoulders from behind, trying to push him under. I let out a startled yell when he grabbed my leg and pulled me under the water. I kicked out, satisfied when my foot hit something solid and emerged from the water, throwing myself at him again.

"Chuuya, ow!" he whined, in reaction to me jumping on his shoulders again.

"Just go under, dammit!"

"Don't wannaaa!" I put my hand on the back of his head, trying to push it down. I clung onto him while he tried to shake me off. I lifted my legs up and pushed his back down, finally dunking him under. I let out a triumphant shout and got off of him to let him resurface and breathe.

His head poked above the water, and he was breathing heavily. "For a stinky mackerel you're not that great at swimming, huh?"

He glared at me for a moment. Then broke into laughter. "I didn't know slugs could swim."
"Well, you've always been an idiot."

"Okay, but that kick really hurt!" he whined, swimming closer to me.

"You pulled my entire body over your shoulder by my leg, I think I went through more than you."

"Your toenails are just sharp."

"What the hell are you talking about?" He took the moment of my confusion to push off the side and crash into me, wrapping his arms around my waist and trying to pull me down.

We continued like that for a long time. Getting annoyed, fighting it out, going back to how we were. This is just for now, I reminded myself. I shouldn't have to see him after this week. I shouldn't want to, he betrayed us, he betrayed me. He's annoying as hell anyways.

So why do I want to keep seeing him after this? Why do I feel like I've missed this?

His head fell under the water again. For now, things don't need to be complicated. It was just me dunking this asshat in the water.

What more could I expect?

About the formatting:
My entire buffer at the moment has just been copied from another writing platform. After I get through that, I'll be using the built in Wattpad software so it will improve (two more parts after this one). i went ahead and tried to fix it in this chapter, by if you see asterisks that means it's supposed to be in italics.
